Karilyn Shepherd v. Merillat Industries and Travelers Indemnity Company of America

COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
Present: 	Judges Kelsey, Petty and Senior Judge Bumgardner
KARILYN SHEPHERD
MEMORANDUM OPINION*
v. 	Record No. 2593-10-3 	PER CURIAM
APRIL 12, 2011
MERILLAT INDUSTRIES AND
TRAVELERS INDEMNITY COMPANY OF AMERICA
FROM THE VIRGINIA WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION
(A. Thomas Lane, Jr., on brief), for appellant.
(Cathleen P. Welsh; Lenhart Obenshain, on brief), for appellees.
Karilyn Shepherd appeals a decision of the Workers’ Compensation Commission finding
she failed to prove her carpal tunnel syndrome developed as a direct result of her employment
and not from any other causes. We have reviewed the record and the commission’s opinion and
find that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the
commission in its final opinion. See Shepherd v. Merillat Indus., VWC File No.
VA000-0007-7425 (Nov. 17, 2010). We dispense with oral argument and summarily affirm
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court
and argument would not aid the decisional process. See Code § 17.1-403; Rule 5A:27.
Affirmed.
